CONCEPT

Eras’must shared houses are fully-equipped and adapted to the needs of exchange students. Our objective is to create a unique international community atmosphere within a place students will ultimately end up calling “Home”.

ERASMUS LIÈGE SWEATER

– Color: Light grey

– Sizes: fromXS to XXL (unisex)

Don’t hesitate to place your pre-order even though you are unsure about the exact size you want. In fact, we will give the opportunity to try on the sweaters at our office in the city centre on regular basis (Address: Boulevard de la Sauvenière, 118 – 4000 Liège). You will then be able to change the size you have previously selected, if necessary.

– Delivery: Pick up at our office, in the city centre (Boulevard de la Sauvenière, 118 – 4000 Liège)
(Send us a mail or a PM on Facebook to know dates and time when you can come and collect it)

Remark:
The model is unisex. So girls, we encourage you to pick a size smaller than the one you are usually used to wear.

RENT A BIKE

International students sometimes buy a bike on their arrival and then try to sell it back when they leave, often unsuccessfully. We want to avoid you that kind of inconvenient situation to happen by giving you the (cheaper) opportunity to rent a bike for the whole period of your exchange.

Renting a bike is a healthy and inexpensive option to move in the city. You could keep the bike night and day from the day you pick it up to the day you bring it back.

Renting length: 5 months

Note: A garantee deposit of 100€ will be asked when you will pick up the bike. If there are no damages detected such as mentioned in the Terms of services, it will be entirely given back to you at the end of the renting period.

WE VISIT FOR YOU!

With this service, you will avoid a major issue that is too frequently encountered by Erasmus students. In fact, many of them would have found their accommodation on the Internet, either on social medias either on regular accommodation websites, BEFORE they arrive in their host country. Therefore, those students are not able to visit the apartment or residence by themselves and have sometimes to base their decision only on a few pictures and descriptions about the place that will become their home for the coming months.

To prevent this kind of unfortunate situation to happen to you, WE VISIT FOR YOU! Once it is done, we send you a complete report about the place you asked us to visit.

This report includes :

– One picture of each room and the front facade

– Complete information about the house/flat/residence: What is the total size? How many bedrooms in total? Is it furnished (what furniture)? Is there a garden/terrace? Is there an elevator in the building?

– Complete information about your room: What is the real size? Is it furnished (what furniture)? What is the size of the bed? Is there a door key? Is there a direct access to water?

– The time you will need (walking, biking and by bus) to go to your school, the supermarket, the bus stop, the train station, the bank, the pharmacy, …

– Eras’must opinion: As former Erasmus students and native citizens from Liège, we tell you what we subjectively think about the place you asked us to visit for you. We give you a feedback about the geographic situation, the neighborhood quality, the general state of the place, the cleanliness of common areas, the outdoor disturbance, the luminosity and the overall value for money. If possible, we also gather some information about the direct neighbors (Are they also students? Is occasional noise a problem? Etc.)

The service is completed as fast as possible once the order is placed, in a maximum period of 5 working days.

LEARN FRENCH

Do you want to start having conversations as soon as possible? This intensive course lasts for 1 week and takes place during 4 mornings. The teachers will base their approach on speaking and listening skills, with a focus on the day-to-day language and vocabulary. The objective of this course is to give you the opportunity to handle small conversations very quickly, even before university starts.

The course material is included. A certificate is delivered at the end.

The lessons are given by Call International, a private language school active in Liège, Bruxelles and Waterloo.Since 1987 this language and communication-skills company has been offering training for all levels in French, English, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.

AIRPORT TRANSFER

Do you arrive/leave Belgium and want to enjoy a private and peaceful ride from/to the airport? Then, this service is for you!

It can be pretty difficult to get from the airport to Liège, especially from Brussels South (Charleroi – CRL). In order to avoid you and/or your parents any additional stress on your arrival day in Belgium, we will arrange your private transfer from the airport to your new place in Liège. We also guarantee you a more interesting fare than any cab you would take on site (a cab driver that waits outside of the airport will charge you at least 150€).
The only things we need to know are the time and place of your arrival. There will be someone waiting for you with an Eras’must sign bearing your name.

Travelling with a group? No problem. You just have to get in touch with us and let us know how many you are so that we could make the arrangements for a bigger car to pick you up.

This service can of course be used also during your stay in Belgium (if you go on a city trip somewhere in Europe for example), at the same price. You can also book this service for your return flight once you go back home.

The service must be booked at least 72 hours before the arrival/departure date.
It is currently available for two Belgian airports: Brussels South (Charleroi – CRL) and Zaventem (Brussels – BRU).
No restriction regarding the pickup time.

Free Welcome pack

The Welcome Pack includes divers products to drink and to eat. In addition to that, you will also receive some goodies such as a pen, a city map, stickers, and so on… On top of all that, you will be handed various vouchers and discount coupons from our partners!

It will be distributed at the beginning of the academic year, to all students that attend the schools and universities introduction presentations on Friday 15th September.

PERSONAL ASSISTANCE

Eras’must team members personally help you by providing assistance on practical and administrative matters. Moreover, we can act as an intermediary in case of language barrier between you and an interlocutor. Starting from the order date until the end of the semester, we stay available to you through a dedicated phone number, a dedicated email address and also in person, twice a week at our office.

Here is a list of situations when the service is applicable:

– Administrative procedure at the City hall for the obtaining of needed documents.
– Opening of a bank account.
– Getting a SIM-Card with a Belgian phone number.
– In case of sickness, we make calls for you and point you to the appropriate hospital/doctor. We can also help you translating your statement if necessary.
– In case of troubles with your landlord, we can act as an intermediary and try to facilitate and unlock the situation. We can also help you translating your statement in order to ease communication issues between you and the landlord.
– In case you got your wallet/your purse stolen, we guide you in the administrative procedure at the Police. We can also help you translating your statement if necessary.
– Finding a specific place, shop, restaurant in the city.

ATTENTION: The personal assistance service cannot be considered as regular insurance, which it is not. Therefore, Eras’must does NOT refund any damages caused by and/or to the student (e.g. The student breaks something in his/her accommodation, lose his/her luggage, injures himself/herself, etc.). However, Eras’must acts as an intermediary that helps the students to solve their problems and guide them through the different procedures.
